Tip by nickfury: Match Netherlands — Scotland

Netherlands and Scotland take on each other at Estadio Algarve in a pre-EURO friendly. The Oranje have big ambitions for the upcoming showpiece tournament, but football experts believe that injured defender Virgil van Dijk is going to be sorely missed. Feyenoord attacker Steven Berghuis has overcome his injury, while PSV striker Donyell Malen is pushing for a start. The Scotts, on the other hand, aim to build on a routine 4-0 win over Faroe Islands in the WC qualifiers.

Scott McTominay is undisputedly the team’s key player, but eyes will be on Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson as well. Anyhow, Netherlands are more of a team than Scotland, and seeing that the Orange defeated Steve Clarke’s troops in each of the previous four meetings between the two national teams, home win should be considered. When the two teams met in a friendly in Aberdeen four years ago Netherlands defeated Scotland thanks to Memphis Depay’s goal.
